In 2018, the cost of feeding a child at school for a whole year is still a snip at just £13.90. Mary's Meals is now providing school meals to well over a million children, in some of the world's poorest communities. As seen in the window of a cafe in Lilongwe, Malawi:

Davis: “So you’re saying the
job is done, in a way.”

Goldfarb: “In a way, it’s done,
it’s history now. It’s now going to become history, and Mr Putin will be judged
by the downing of Malaysian plane, invasion of Crimea and murder of Litvinenko;
that’s the three major things of his time.”

Davis: “Putin’s reputation is
in the dirt isn’t it George Galloway?”

Galloway: “Well you’ve
certainly done your best to put it there, but we need Putin, who’s by the way
the most popular politician on the planet, with public opinion poll ratings in
the 80 per cents.”

Goldfarb [interjects]: “Like
Stalin was.”

Galloway: “The reality is we
need Russia. Now, Russia was very popular in the West when a drunkard, who was handing
over Russia’s wealth to the oligarchs was in power. It’s not so popular now
that Russia has a strong president that’s trying to restore some of the lost
prestige. But we need Russia. We need it to fight a much bigger threat, which
is the threat of Islamist extremism in Syria and elsewhere. We need Russia for
the Iranian file, we need Russia for all kinds of things. And we mustn’t allow
our public interest to be sacrificed to the cold war agenda of Mr Goldfarb.”

Mr
Goldfarb’s 'cold war agenda', i.e. his desire to undermine the Russian government and perpetuate and deepen Russia's diplomatic isolation, has widespread support, not least in the British mainstream media. And
in fact, relations between Russia and the West have been in a state of cold war since February-March 2014, when the violent, foreign-backed overthrow of Viktor Yanukovich's democratically elected Ukrainian government was followed by Russia’s annexation
of the Crimea. That relations since then have reverted to cold war assumptions is confirmed precisely by the fact that so much of the discourse relating
to Russia is dominated by dreary old clichés about ‘spying’ and ‘threat’ – even
while Moscow’s defence budget is barely 10% of Washington’s, and Russia never
entangles itself in overseas military engagements without a legitimate pretext.

About Me

Hi, I'm James Bruce, a 41 year old chap from Bristol in England. I set off on 22 March 2013 from Blantyre, Scotland, with the aim of reaching Blantyre, Malawi, with God's help. I am raising money for Mary's Meals, the non-denominational charity that feeds children worldwide and helps them gain an education. I paid for all my expenses myself, thanks to a legacy from my late grandfather. If you would like to donate please call call 0800 698 1212 or visit www.marysmeals.org.uk.
I hope you will accompany me on this journey from wherever you are! God bless, James
